On a typical Samantha fashion, she (and other
luddites) are leaving out the fact that menarche age
has been dropping for far longer than BGH has even
been a gleam in a gene splicer's eye. Looking at the

(and in the rest of the world), seems to have dropped
as vaccination and baby formula gained popularity in
various locales.
